That’s what architecture students did, they built models. Fast forward 20 years and I look around and think: “What happened to all the architectural models?!? We normally inform our clients during the interview process that model building is sometimes a part of our decision process. But a physical model?

Architecture professional experience or internships have gradually become more than just being part of the academic curriculum or a tick mark on a to do list as an architecture student. Geography stands as an important criterion while deciding to practice architecture internship or gain some professional experience.

Granted, not all buildings should have a book devoted to them, but definitely more than have been given the case-study treatment. My favorites tend toward the last: an abundance of visual information accompanied by input from both creators and critics.

Travel sketchers and architecture students would all enjoy better success if they knew, say how to pull the pencil to keep an even lineweight. I’m a TA for Drawing 1 & 2 at Wash U for freshmen art and architecture students and we are always encouraging sketching and lose style drawing techniques to work out ideas.

There were sketching posts, technical posts, career advice posts, and general observation type posts … none of which represented a category of runaway favorites, but they definitely had their own “user” group. That’s what architecture students do, they build models.

That’s probably (definitely) not fair to large firms, or to the people who get hired at large firms, to suggest they simply hire people just because they are in the right place, at the right time, and with the right sort of skills.

I’m a 20 year old architecture student from India and I do believe I’m going through an identity crisis, right in the midst of my submissions too! I think that extra time gave me a little bit of maturity (not much) and life experience to inform my work. Something a master machine can’t make. Alan Manning Great!

You will get to do just about everything sooner rather than later – attend client meetings, contribute to the design, prepare construction drawings, organize and process bidding and negotiating information, and go to job sites. That last one almost deserves its own category. Drawing sets? Work samples? What exactly is a work sample?

It is extremely complicated and we are using Rhino and Grasshopper (fancy modeling software) to help generate and document the design – I’ll show it on the site here when I have a bit more information to present. The stuff the architecture students are learning in college is whacky. Cool, but whacky.

While optional they are almost a necessity to be and stay informed and visible to colleagues and prospective clients. That has a LOT to do with lack of information and education at the university level. I hope that people come to understand that while the IDP process is complicated, the information is all out there for one to learn.
